NISHIMATSUYA CHAIN falls for first time in three sessions after reporting decline in interim operating profit
NISHIMATSUYA CHAIN Co., Ltd. <7545> fell for the first time in three sessions. After the close on Oct. 1, the company released its consolidated financial results for the first half of the fiscal year ending February 2027 (Feb. 21 to Aug. 20). Net sales rose 5.8% year-on-year to 102.636 billion yen, while ordinary profit declined 1.7% to 7.378 billion yen. Standalone profit figures for the second quarter - covering the three-month period - dropped by double digits, weighing on investor sentiment.
During the August interim period, selling, general and administrative expenses rose partly due to a higher store count driven by aggressive store openings, putting pressure on profits. The company raised its interim dividend by 1 yen from a previously forecast 16 yen to 17 yen. The year-end dividend forecast was left unchanged, bringing the full-year dividend forecast to 33 yen (up 1 yen from the previous fiscal year). Additionally, the company announced a share buyback program to repurchase up to 189,000 shares (0.32% of issued shares excluding treasury stock) for up to 300 million yen. The buyback period runs from Oct. 5 through Oct. 19.
